The Solicitors’ Charity, which helps solicitors in need or crisis, is asking solicitors to fill out a confidential, online five-minute questionnaire to help it identify areas where they need to provide more support and resources. 

CEO Nick Gallagher said: ‘This is a really important piece of research for us.’ 

The charity helps solicitors with practical, emotional and financial difficulties brought about by mental or physical ill health, job loss, low income, debt, bereavement and other issues. It offers help directly as well as working with partners such as LawCare, the Solicitor’s Assistance Scheme and Renovo.

The questionnaire is available here.
